Average rating
The third in the hilarious series from Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning author Philip Ardagh and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Axel Scheffler.
Oh no! The Grunts are on the loose. And this time they’re in a VERY sticky situation. When Mrs Grunt’s mother, the gloomy Ma Lunge, enters a Preserves, Jams and Jellies competition, what could possibly go wrong? Plenty. Add a nose-biting squirrel, escaped bees, rogue fireworks and crashing biplanes (AGAIN!), and you’ll see why poor Sunny and Mimi have a lot on their plate. And that’s BEFORE the Grunts end up in jail.
Reviews
It was good but there was a bit of telling off and confusion. My favourite character was Sunny.

This book was really funny and full of silly events which will leave you laughing your socks off. If your a fan of Roald Dahl or David Walliams. Then you will love this.

This is a fiction book. I like the book because it takes place at a country fair. I liked Sunny best. He is the nicest person in this book

I think people should read this book if they like a lot of comedy mixed with a lot of enthusiastic information from the author. I think it's a perfect book with a lot of amazing play with words.

I think children should read this book because it teaches what happens in court but some things are not true

It's a bit odd but in a funny way.

A very funny book that starts with the Grunts going to a country fair but leads to them being taken to court!
